A short ostracon order from Paniskos instructing a farmer to deliver a quantity of rent wheat, in artabas, to Karaus. It dates to the 3rd indiction year, in the 4th or early 5th century AD, and comes from Kysis in the Great Oasis.

In English machine translation

Paniskos […] to […], farmer, greetings. Provide [to the brother] Karaus 4 […] artabas of rent [wheat]. I have signed (?) […] 3rd indiction.

The exact number of artabas is damaged; the delta may indicate 4 or begin a longer figure. "Rent wheat" (phorikos sitos) is grain paid as rent on leased land.
